In this guide, we show you how to lock the collaboration section in a Class Notebook.
The collaboration space in a Class Notebook is where all students can edit the same pages and work together on projects. After using it, teachers may wish to lock the section to prevent students from editing the page, or so that the work can be assessed.
When you have finished using the collaboration space, select Class Notebook and choose Manage Notebooks.
Switch the Lock Collaboration Space toggle from unlocked to locked.
Teachers are still able to edit the collaboration space when it’s locked, however, students are denied editing rights.
Students are still able to use other areas within their own Class Notebook, such as the Homework and Class Notes tabs.
There are a few options for what to do with a locked collaboration space:
Teachers can move the locked collaboration space into the Content Library and distribute the page to their students’ Class Notebooks. For example, as a homework or revision task.
Alternatively, teachers can use the page as part of an assignment that can then be formally graded.
Once you have finished working in the collaboration space, set it back to unlocked to allow students to join the next time you need to use it.
